  • Implementing real-time messaging using WebSockets
  • Creating a scalable API architecture
  • Setting up caching mechanisms to improve performance
  • Implementing data validation and security measures

CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS

Challenge: Scaling for Multiple Universities

Designing a system that could efficiently handle separate communities for multiple universities while maintaining performance.

Implemented a microservices architecture with dedicated services for different functionalities, allowing independent scaling based on demand. Used MongoDB's sharding capabilities to distribute data across multiple servers.

OUTCOME

Kampus.chat is currently in beta, with plans for a full launch across major Turkish universities. The platform has received positive feedback from early users, particularly regarding its clean interface and community-focused features.
